A Saucy Supplier StoryBrett Thompson and Heath Hall combined their love of barbecue and entrepreneurship to start Pork Barrel BBQ, a barbecue sauce and rub supplier business. Brett and Heath will be the first to tell you their business was built on relationships, including the relationships they developed with key vendors and larger retailers.

In order to partner with larger retailers, Brett and Heath needed to help show that their company was a reliable and trustworthy business capable of handling large orders for their product.
